FABIAN HURZELER, COMPLETION

📝 1. Description of exercise

A one-touch precision finishing drill that encourages quick decision making and offensive coordination. It begins with a combinative action in which two players start from the back, are supported by a third player arriving from the opposite side, and finish with a shot at goal. Subsequently, the player who made the first pass performs a second finishing action after receiving a frontal ball from the back.

🧩 2. Organization and development

• Space: small field completion area (approximately 25-30 meters deep).

• Players: 3 per sequence (2 from the back and 1 from the opposite side).

• Development:

  1. Two players start from the back towards the front of the area.

  2. One of them leans on a third player (coming from the opposite side).

  3. After the wall, one of the players finishes a one-touch shot on goal.

  4. The player who made the first pass continues the action by receiving a ball played from the back to make a second completion to a regulation goal.

• ✅ Include real goalkeeper to increase competitive realism.

• ✅ Limit run time to reinforce rapid decision making.
